About Us

We founded Braykion because we were frustrated watching Hospital Acquired Infections kill over 100,000 people per year. We couldn't sit on the sidelines and watch people suffer that should be rapidly recovering. So we took action, found the best technological solution, and implemented it at the lowest possible cost. Our mission is to rid the healthcare environment of preventable infections and we won't stop until we do.
